Katherine Zieman, ND, LM

I have recently moved my practice from downtown Gresham to SE Stark
Street which is much closer to highway I-84. I am now working with a
wonderful group of bodyworkers including a DO who does craniosacral
work, 2 massage therapists who do both traditional and Thai massage and
all are experienced in working with both pregnant women and infants. I
am also practicing with another Naturopathic doctor who like myself
shares my passion for birth, pediatrics and family medicine. I am
excited to work with
families in my community and I feel that the East Multnomah County area
is underserved in Midwifery and Natural Family Healthcare. I am a
Naturopathic Family doctor as well as a midwife which means I can
catch babies and then care for them and their families as they grow. In
this way I can maintain my connection to the family and they have
continuity in their care. In my experience I have watched many families
grow even delivering a mother and her mother in the same year! Because
of my naturopathic background I can use herbal medicine, homeopathy,
and nutrition to treat most ailments in pregnancy, birth, and family
health. Because I am also a physician, I can prescribe pharmaceutical
medicines when needed without referring my clients to another
practitioner. I have been delivering babies for 15 years now including
waterbirths. I look forward to serving the families in Gresham
and the
surrounding areas, although I travel far and wide for births east
down the
gorge, south and east into Clackamas county, north into Washington, and
west to the Portland area. I look forward to meeting all who are
interested in natural healthcare and homebirths.
